This place was the cultural food experience we had been dreaming of when we visited France last…read morefall. We actually stayed in the room over the restaurant and the owner was so kind we decided to eat dinner here. It was magnificent!! We had the couscous, vegetable soup, I had the sausage and my friend who is vegetarian let the owner know and he brought a delicious chickpea medley to go with the soup and couscous. The bowls/portions of couscous and soup were huge! Probably could have fed 6! We ordered hot tea after dinner and got the rose water marzipan for dessert. It was heavenly, (seriously it was a spiritual experience!). I have to admit, we had no idea what we were getting when we ordered. We speak VERY limited French and we communicated using google translate for what we needed to. The menu was entirely in French and extremely limited English. The restaurant itself is very small, beautiful with eclectic decor, cozy and inviting. I'm so glad we decided to dine here, it was one of the main highlights of our entire trip!! If we're ever back in Rouen I will be visiting again! Wonderful people, wonderful food, wonderful experience!! I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone!!

A great place for a hearty meal to share with your family or friends. The decor is no-nonsense,…read morecosy and, what's most important, the place is squeaky clean. So don't go there if a modern or elegant interior and tiny, poshly presented dishes is a must for you. Go there to quench your appetite and get amazing Morroccan food full of flavours. Mind you, portions are big, so don't overdo with appetizers, no matter how delicious (I made that mistake and next couldn't cope with the main dish, purely due to its size). Couscous is their speciality and it comes in many varieties, all of them with meat (mutton mainly), yet still we could agree on a vegetarian, customised version. The owner tends to the guests himself and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If I ever go back to Rouen, I'm sure I'll visit again!
